PROGRAMMING DOMINO FOR WEB APPLICATIONS

Examples: Web services data descriptions
Example 1: Enumerations
This example illustrates an enumeration of vegetables containing members of type String. All identifying characteristics (bolded in the examples below) must be present in the implementation for any WSDL generation to detect and correctly represent an enumeration.

WSDL


LotusScript enumeration pattern
[Declarations]
'member value constants:
Const VegetableType_carrot$ = "Carrot"  
'constant name prefix matches enum class name
Const VegetableType_lettuce$ = "Lettuce"
Const VegetableType_ketchup$ = "Ketchup"

'member instances:
Dim Carrot_VegetableType As VegetableType
'instance name suffix matches enum class name
Dim Lettuce_VegetableType As VegetableType
Dim Ketchup_VegetableType As VegetableType

'LotusScript list of members:
Dim Enum_VegetableType List As VegetableType
' prefix "Enum_" includes a trailing underscore

'enumeration class:
Class VegetableType
'class name matches list name suffix and list type
 Public Value As String    'first public property;
                         'type matches constants type above
 Sub NEW
End Sub
'initializer:
Sub Initialize (elem As String)
Let Value = elem
Set Enum_VegetableType(Cstr(Value)) = Me
End Sub
'optional helper functions
Function Equals (you As VegetableType) As Boolean…
Function ToString As String…
End Class

[global Sub's]
'initialization (called from Sub NEW of the PortType class)
Sub VegetableType_Initialize
Set Carrot_VegetableType = New VegetableType
Call Carrot_VegetableType.Initialize(VegetableType_Carrot)
Set Lettuce_VegetableType = New VegetableType
Call Lettuce_VegetableType.Initialize(VegetableType_Lettuce)
Set Ketchup_VegetableType = New VegetableType
Call Ketchup_VegetableType.Initialize(VegetableType_Ketchup)
End Sub

'optional helper functions
Function VegetableType_FromValue (value As String) As VegetableType…
Public Function VegetableType_FromString (value As String) As VegetableType…

Java enumeration pattern
public class VegetableType  {
  private java.lang.String _value_;
  private static java.util.HashMap _table_ = new java.util.HashMap();


   public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj) {return (obj == this);}
  public int hashCode() { return toString().hashCode();}
}

Example 2: Faults
This example shows service method fault handling is the same for both explicit and implicit faults:

LotusScript fault (explicit)
Class FaultServicePortType

Function getStockQuote( tickerSymbol As String,
Fault1 As InvalidSymbolFaultMessage ) As Single

…
' WS_FAULT base class properties
Call Fault1.setFault(True)        ' required for fault activation
Call Fault1.setFaultString("getQuote InvalidTickerFaultMessage")  
                                     ' optional fault message

' fault subclass properties
Let Fault1.TickerSymbol = tickerSymbol
Let Fault1.ApplicationCode = "12345"

End Function

End Class

LotusScript fault (implicit)
Function getStockQuote( tickerSymbol As String, Fault1 As WS_FAULT ) As Single
…
' WS_FAULT base class properties
Call Fault1.setFault(True)               ' required for fault activation
Call Fault1.setFaultString("getQuote InvalidTickerFaultMessage")
  'optional fault message
End Function

Note Any faults for a LotusScript service implementation method must appear at the end of the method argument (any WS_FAULT base class or its subclasses).

Java fault (explicit)
public class FaultServicePortType {

  public float getStockQuote( java.lang.String tickerSymbol ) throws
  InvalidSymbolFaultMessage {
…
  throw new InvalidSymbolFaultMessage( tickerSymbol, 12345 );
  }
}

Java fault (implicit)
public float getStockQuote( java.lang.String tickerSymbol ) throws lotus.domino.types.Fault {
  …
  java.lang.Exception e = new java.lang.Exception("Thrown exception");
  throw lotus.domino.types.Fault.makFault(e);     // static factory method
}

or even simpler:

public float getStockQuote( java.lang.String tickerSymbol ) throws java.lang.Exception {
  …
  throw new java.lang.Exception("Thrown exception");
}

Note Faults for a Java service implementation method appear in the conventional Java throws clause for the method.

Example 3: Lists
This example illustrates a list of vegetables, consisting of the three items Carrot, Lettuce, and Ketchup.

WSDL


LotusScript list pattern
Class ListOfVegetables As XSD_LIST   'list base class
Public value() As String         'one public array property;
                                'array type maps to a SimpleType

‘mandatory helper member and methods for de/serialization:
Private initialized As Boolean
Sub setListValueFromString (idx As Integer, value As String)
 If idx < 0 Then Error ErrArgOutOfRange
If Not initialized Then
Redim Me.value(0 To idx)
Let initialized = True
Else
If idx > Ubound(Me.value) Then Redim Preserve Me.value(0 To idx)
End If
Let Me.value(idx) = Cstr(value)  
                            'cast must produce a value( ) array element type
 End Sub

Function getListValueAsString (idx As Integer) As String
 If Not initialized Then Error ErrArgOutOfRange
getListValueAsString = Cstr(value(idx))
End Function

Function getListLength () As Integer
 If Not initialized Then
getListLength = 0
Else
getListLength = Ubound(value)+1
End If
End Function

End Class

Note If the “Public value( )” array member type is a mapped simple type class instead of a LotusScript built-in type, then some pattern statements change accordingly. For example, if the array member type is XSD_NCNAME, then in Sub setListValueFromString, the last statement:

Let Me.value(idx) = Cstr(value)

is replaced by two statements:

Set Me.value(idx) = New XSD_NCNAME 'creates an instance of the simple type class

Call Me.value(idx).setValueFromString(value)

Similarly, the last statement in Sub getListValueAsString is replaced by:

getListValueAsString = value(idx).getValueAsString

Java list pattern
public class ListOfVegetabless implements lotus.domino.types.SimpleType {  
// SimpleType interface
 private java.lang.String[] value; // private instance member, array,
// named “value”
// array type maps to a simple type
 // default constructor
public ListOfWords() {
}
// constructor that accepts the private array member
public ListOfWords(java.lang.String[] value) {
this.value = value;
}
// simple type String constructor
public ListOfWords(java.lang.String value) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(value, "\r\n\t ");
this.value = new java.lang.String[st.countTokens()];
for(int i = 0; st.hasMoreTokens(); i++) {
this.value[i] = new java.lang.String(st.nextToken());
}
}
// simple type toString method for serializing the array value
public java.lang.String toString() {
if (value == null)
return null;
String ret = new String();
for (int i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
ret += value[i].toString();
if ((i+i) < value.length)
ret += " ";
}
return ret;
}
// public getter method for private array member
public java.lang.String[] getValue() {
return value;
}
// public setter method for private array member
public void setValue(java.lang.String[] value) {
this.value = value;
}
// optional helper methods
public synchronized boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj) {…}
public synchronized int hashCode() {…}
}
